“The richest man in the world is killing the poorest people in the world .” And he wants to be congratulated for it.

👀 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social : “Ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than Americans who boast how American they are? Cali gives $80 BILLION more than it takes... This isn’t even legal. The only thing he hates more than the new testament is the constitution.”

Tonight 8pm - I’m live with Terry Christian. We’ll be talking culture collapse and the rich co-opting working class identity to sell it back to us as Reform merch. Can we reclaim it? How can poor kids create when they can’t even eat? Live. Maybe too direct. Here 👇🏼 www.youtube.com/live/rAIFPSh...

Despite how it has been reported list of achievements from this deal is substantial, & goes further than the very Ltd ambition set out in Labour’s manifesto Govt can sell the deal as a win for Britain in three big ways Much more needs to be done but this is a welcome step @bylinetimes.bsky.social

UK debt because of Labour & Rachel Reeves will fall. Already 1% lower this will fall further. Labour policy, after Tory chaos & outright self interest, is working for everyone whereas Reform Tories work for no one but themselves.

Wealth inequality kills.

Trump never lets facts interfere with a good lie.

Time for @bbc to start being impartial. Let’s have some sensible guys from the LibDems and Greens rather than the fascists who want to bring Trumpism chaos to the UK

A truly terrible development, for everyone. Things will not be ok in this country until liberal conservatism returns, but by God there isn't much sign of that.

Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

The Spending Review is an opportunity for the Government to target spending at areas which benefit lower-income families. One option is to tilt funding towards the the public services that have been poorly funded & are used intensively by the poorest half of families. Read more: buff.ly/BLx1kng

Reminders here from the County Councils Network and Campaign for Better Transport of the significant investment needed in buses. - Bus services in rural areas of England declined by 18% from 2019 to 2024 - 4 in 10 council wards in England and Wales do not have a “reasonable” level of bus services

No evidence. Politicized justice to save their asses. I have not the vocabulary to express my loathing and contempt for these people, who have absolutely no shame, no honor, no integrity, no respect for the constitution. Despicable, vile, criminal, corrupt and cruel.

Most new build homes must have solar panels, Ed Miliband says "The rules will be included in the Future Homes Standard, which will detail a wider plan for improving energy efficiency" Looks like a big win for green-energy goals (and bills), though worth watching how it impacts house-building

Ooh. They're all falling out. It's only been four months.

German Chancellor Merz sets the record straight after Trump tries to draw moral equivalence between Russia and Ukrainian actions: "Ukraine is only targeting military targets. Not civilians, not private [property], not energy infrastructure. This is the difference."

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

It helps to call things as they are things as they are 👇
